Part One
A vacant lot with a few concrete pipes scattered about, bathed in the slanting rays of the setting sun.
Two girls face off.
One, with chestnut hair tied in a single ponytail, tall and taut, muscles tense, teeth grinding, poised to strike.
The other, silver-haired with red eyes, hands in pockets, seemingly full of openings yet exuding a natural, flawless aura.
In a wuxia novel, she’d be a master of the Dao, perfectly at ease!
Well, maybe not that masterful—Cola thinks hair’s pretty important.
“Die, vile vampire! I won’t let you harm the innocent!” the ponytail girl growls, panting.
“Wait, hold up!”
“What?”
“Your hair’s messy.”
“Huh?”
The tall girl, flustered, pulls off her hair tie, bites it, smooths her hair, and reties a neater ponytail.
“…Still messy?”
“Much cleaner.”
“Alright… now, die!”
“Wait, wait!”
“What now?!”
“Why’s your head sprouting dog ears?”
“Not dog ears! Wolf ears!”
“Oh, wolf girl?”
“Werewolf! How dare you insult me!”
“No, no, I meant wolf girls are cute.”
“Really?”
“Yup.”
“…No! Flattery won’t save you! Scared, huh? Once I take this stance, no vampire escapes my claws! Huh…! I-I can’t move?”
“Just wanted to test it, didn’t think it’d actually work.”
“A trap?!”
“What trap? Just telekinesis.”
Cola rolls her eyes.
“You didn’t think vampires only use physical attacks, did you?”
“Impossible! Vampire telekinesis can’t be that strong!”
“What kind of lame vampires have you met?”
“My grandpa said vampire telekinesis only slows me down…!”
“…So you’ve never killed a vampire?”
“Damn it, don’t underestimate me!”
“Hey, you’re kind of an idiot, huh?”
Cola lazily releases the telekinetic hold.
“Modern society barely has vampires anymore, right?”
“Grandpa said werewolves and vampires are sworn enemies, irreconcilable!”
Inuyoi Saeko seizes the moment, leaping with metallic claws flashing like Wolverine’s, slashing at Cola.
“Stop.”
“Ugh…!!”
Saeko drops mid-air, crashing hard onto the ground.
“Ow—”
“Oh, sorry, sorry.”
Cola crouches, nervously checking Saeko’s knees.
“Skin broken?”
“No…”
Saeko’s eyes well up, staring at Cola.
“Are you… the legendary Vampire Duke…? Damn, I shouldn’t have attacked so recklessly…”
“Something like that…”
“Kill me!”
“Why would I kill you for no reason?”
“Are vampires gonna experiment on defeated enemies?! No, please! I’m worthless for experiments!”
“Hey, you’re a vampire hunter and a werewolf—have some backbone! We haven’t even fought yet!”
“How… how will you humiliate me…!?”
“I’m not humiliating you.”
“One last request—don’t let the poison kick in, I don’t want social death…”
“No poison, I was kidding.”
“Huh?!”
“And I’m not some bloodthirsty vampire. First, I’ve never killed. Second, I don’t drink blood.”
“…You’re strong, but you don’t have to lie. Think I’m an idiot? Vampires not drinking blood?!”
“You might not believe it, but my lineage improved ourselves—no blood cravings.”
“But without blood, how do you sustain life? Isn’t blood the source of vampire power?”
“Switch to Cola, eat well, get enough nutrients.”
“Sounds like a grade-schooler…”
“Hey, are you eating properly?”
Gurgle—
Saeko’s stomach protests, her face flushing.
“Grandpa’s in France, and I… spent all my allowance… so, one meal a day, and it’s not enough. So hungry…”
“Seriously, eat properly—what’d you spend it on?”
“I’d rather die than admit I bought booze… oops!”
“Hey, an alcoholic? Are you even of age?”
“I have underground channels… wait, don’t snitch!”
“Noted, another leverage point.”
“Ugh… Grandpa was right, Duke-level vampires are terrifying…”
Cola sighs, covering her forehead, releasing the telekinesis, and pointing to a concrete pipe.
“Sit there.”
“Yes…”
“No sneak attack?”
“Attacking when I can’t win is just self-humiliation…”
Saeko bites her lip.
“Wow, not that dumb?”
“Y-you can’t insult my character!”
“You’re not human… you’re a wolf.”
“Werewolf! Werewolves are people too! We deserve equal rights! What’s with you, racist vampire?!”
“No, no, I only discriminate against—never mind, not werewolves.”
Cola waves it off, crouching and rolling up Saeko’s pant leg without asking.
“No more pretending? Gonna… suck my blood?! Warning you, werewolf blood’s toxic to vampires!”
“I’m really not into blood, okay…”
Cola rolls her eyes, gently touching the scraped wound.
“Does it hurt?”
“Mm… it’s fine.”
“Right’s just scratched, but left… big chunk of skin gone.”
“Ow, that one stings.”
“Roll up your sleeves, let me see your arms.”
“…Like this?”
“Arm’s scraped too, sorry, forgot to cushion you with telekinesis.”
“No big deal… wait, why are you apologizing?”
“Told you, I don’t wanna hurt you. Bullying idiots is kinda embarrassing.”
“I’m not an idiot! Damn it!”
“Alright, Miss Dog-Raised…”
“You’re insulting me again!”
“Fine, Saeko, that okay?”
“Then what do I call you?”
“Cola.”
“Name? Codename?”
“Name.”
Cola ruffles Saeko’s fluffy hair, messing it up.
“Stay put, I’m grabbing medicine from Lawson.”
“For the wounds? They’ll heal fast.”
“You’re such a weak werewolf, probably can’t fight infections. Better disinfect, just in case—don’t move.”
“If I move, you’ll kill me?”
“Nah, just make you run naked down the street.”
Cola says it casually.
“Sorry! I won’t move!”
Part Two
In Japan, you might miss restaurants, hotels, or supermarkets, but convenience stores? Never.
They’re like save points in a game, popping up every few blocks, stocked with everything—food, supplies, you name it.
Soon, Cola strolls back with a Lawson-branded plastic bag.
The vampire hunter who was ready to duel her is now looking around nervously.
“Yo, scouting escape routes?”
“No! Absolutely not!”
“Hah… honestly, kinda dumb, but not that annoying.”
Saeko blinks, puzzled, as Cola applies iodine to her knee and slaps on an oversized Band-Aid.
“Miss Cola, are you really a vampire?”
“Theoretically, yeah, blood magic’s my thing…”
Cola taps a finger, drawing pus from the wound and flicking it onto a pipe.
“But I really don’t like blood. Cola’s way better.”
“But… vampires are ancient, living for ages, no way you haven’t killed.”
“I’m kinda a newborn vampire.”
“A newborn this strong?!”
“Inherited my ancestors’ power.”
“I see…”
Saeko’s eyes flicker.
“You really have no bloodlust… I can sense you’re… almost repulsed?”
“What? Who sees a gash like that and thinks it’s appetizing?”
“But Grandpa said vampires are like sharks—fine usually, but blood makes them lose control.”
“Other vampires, maybe. I’m different.”
“My grandpa’s generation only met one vampire. Took dozens of battles to kill him with a replica holy lance. He was brutal, killed thousands worldwide before coming to Japan.”
“Oh… wait, does your grandpa use Ripple?”
“Huh? Ripple… what’s that?”
“Cough, nothing, just joking.”
Cola clears her throat, putting a Band-Aid on Saeko’s elbow, then hands her an ice-cold Cola.
“Here, drink. Don’t be so reckless next time—what if you meet a real murderous vampire?”
“B-but… fighting vampires is a hunter’s mission!”
“Tch, didn’t you beg for mercy?”
“I didn’t kneel!”
“…You didn’t deny begging.”
“Tch, that’s just ‘cause I sensed you’re not evil, so I played along!”
“Too naive…”
Cola sighs.
“Oh, here, a sushi bento from the store. You’re hungry, right? Eat.”
“Can I really?”
Saeko blinks hard.
“Yup, go for it. Chopsticks are here, add wasabi yourself.”
“Thanks! You’re the best vampire I’ve met!”
“You’ve only met me…”
“Still, you’re a good person!”
“Don’t give me a good guy card, okay…”
